Anatomical variation at the sacroiliac joints in young adults: estimated prevalence by CT and concomitant diagnostics by MRI

Rosa Marie Kiil et al.

Summary: The study revealed that atypical anatomical morphologies at the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are common in young adults, especially females. Most variations were detectable by MRI, and three specific variations were frequently accompanied by symptoms and/or subchondral bone marrow edema (BME).

Anatomic Distribution of Sacroiliac Joint Lesions on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis and Control Subjects: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study, Including Postpartum Women, Patients With Disc Herniation, Cleaning Staff, Runners, and Healthy Individuals

Sengul Seven et al.

Summary: The study investigated the anatomic location and distribution of lesions on MRI in the SI joints in different populations, revealing common patterns in axial SpA and postpartum women with pain. BME was found to be common in both groups, while fat lesions and erosion were diagnostically significant for further investigation.

Data-driven definitions for active and structural MRI lesions in the sacroiliac joint in spondyloarthritis and their predictive utility

Walter P. Maksymowych et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine quantitative cut-offs for SI joint MRI lesions typical of inflammatory and structural lesions in axSpA, which can predict clinical diagnosis. The results showed that cut-offs for MRI findings specific to axSpA had PPVs greater than or equal to 95% for clinical diagnosis. Thus, the proposed cut-offs can be used for disease classification and clinical research to improve the diagnostic accuracy for axSpA.

Frequency of pertinent MRI abnormalities of the sacroiliac joints of patients without spondyloarthropathies: a systematic review of the literature

Lara Barnsley et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the frequency of relevant MRI findings in the sacroiliac joints of patients without SpA to estimate the specificity of MRI scans for SpA. Results showed a significant frequency of diagnostically pertinent MRI abnormalities in the SIJ of both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals without SpA. Findings like edema and sclerosis lack specificity and should be interpreted with caution, while erosions are less frequent and likely more specific for SpA.
